Covid-19 Update!

All Jannus buildings will be closed for a minimum of 3 weeks, starting March 16th. Jannus believes this is the right thing to do for their staff given the COVID progression and to support the community in minimizing the spread. Jannus knows this has a significant impact on your programs. Jannus will continue to monitor the progress of this virus and communicate as often as is practical. The Idaho Out-of-School Network will continue to be available through email and the planned web-workshops will continue. In-person training and meetings will be canceled at this time, however, ION is happy to offer virtual meetings and virtual TA. Please let us know what you need!
